Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford will star in the Blade Runner sequel, which will be released in October, 2017.

Legendary director Ridley Scott, who made the original, will get a producing and story writing credit (his first since 1965) this time around.

Davis, whose biggest role to date was in Scott’s 2015 blockbuster The Martian, joins a stellar cast that also includes Robin Wright (House of Cards) and Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy).

A pair of Vancouverites, Tim Gamble, CEO of Thunderbird Films, and Frank Giustra, founder of Lionsgate Films and a current director with Thunderbird, serve as executive producers on the Blade Runner sequel along with Bill Carraro.

A production schedule has not been released but the film is reportedly being shot in Hungary.
